We need a running service when a simple command will do?

How big an attack surface do you need?

Pease tell me you know of someone where this actually was true: that they made crazy money and they’re set for life.

Because, based on 30 years in and a complete lack of knowledge of anyone who got out and retired early, either personally and via someone I know, I conclude the only people for whom this worked were C-level. Even the smartest man I know didn’t cash in and get out.

I do know someone who retired at 48, though. He was a heavy duty mechanic. Paid off his house in a town he chose specifically for location, and bikes and kite-surfs all summer and skis all winter.

Yeah, mechanic. Union. Half pay for life is still half pay, but it’s FOR LIFE. He won.

Skype is still a very good voice chat app, despite a succession of cluttered and pointless updates. It’s clear and clean in sound, and has an excellent gain tuner.

I will use it until the day it dies, and then switch to WhatsApp or something else. It’s all shit by comparison, so I’m not too chuffed as to where I go. Yeah, it’s all junk.

But with my contacts on Whatsapp, signal, teams, slack, and zoom, this feels so much like the pre-jabber days where pidgin was the only sane app. Now we don’t even have that.

This is lame.

Whither Jami ?

You configure the VPN in the router the roku connects through.

Hey. Thanks for the update! As someone whose experience was heavily windows apart from some failed Linux attempts, your experience switching now is an excellent comparison.

Glad the story got better in the second act.

Keep the story going. Please update.

Thanks for persevering also.

Still requires docker?

Once set, you cannot resize them properly

This is untrue.

I’ve resized and moved partitions on a remote host during a reboot – i.e. doing the change in a batch during that boot.

It’s possible, and for most other resizes it’s easy enough and worth it for the benefits. Do you want to do it daily? No. Do you want to half-ass it and not pay attention during? Also no.

whatever the OS suggests.

Ew. Then you get XFS.

not actually seen any benefit of the separation in practice.

The first time some big download hoses your root, you will be enlightened :-D

EFI
83:boot(e4fs)
8e:lvm(e4fs)
bf:zfs

This is just for /dev/sda or so, and implies non-redundant root disks because mirroring is done by the hypervisor. I’ve been 20 years doing virtualization, and I’m really starting to forget the last vestiges of my mdadm fdisk layout.

So many people in this thread have no idea why you’d want separate allocation for /home and /tmp and others. Are we missing proper mentorship?

Enshitification

Enshittification – add the right spelling to your spelling checker.

So,

1. trying to be non-snarky
2. ‘unnecessarily professional’? What’s that; spelling all the words like an adult and avoiding clique-signally kid-pidgin when writing to people I don’t know personally and pretending I want to treat them as also adults?
3. deferring to experts
4. bulleted lis-- oh crap

Am I gonna be flagged as a bot every time I write as if the reader’s an adult?

Fixed

Worked-around, you mean. And that hack seems temporary.

Containerized packaging is toxic. Let them learn on their own time and not take you down with them!

dreamed everyday

every day. Two words, my dude.

go through the compile-flash-boot agonising process just to debug a config file.

Overlayfs was a thing since; what, Kernel 2.2? We had debugging and in-situ mods where required.

OH YEAH !

Is there a docker-free version due?

I certainly hope so! I have too much to do for just one life!
